Yo Ho Yo Ho A Pirates Life For Me

Good afternoon everyone,

Technically we did two streams last night... thanks to Comcast causing some issues at around 9 PM Eastern, where the upload speed was all over the place! Seriously the last time I seen my Upload speeds being that erratic were one year ago, and it took a letter to the FCC to get it sorted out! 

Anyway, the stream(s) featured Kingdom Hearts III as we covered the Caribbean part of the story, which ties in with Pirates of the Caribbean films, namely the third one which I have never seen. This introduce a big wide open world where a lot of sailing is involved, ship-to-ship combat, searching everywhere for chests and goodies. Since the PotC movies are live action, that meant Donald and Goofy got more realistic looks, particularly Donald whose feathers really looked incredible. 

Now the ship to ship combat aspect certainly took some getting use too in regards to how maneuver the Leviathan, figuring out max range of the canons and trying to build up the meter to unleash some special attacks. I think more effort was put into it than the the Gummi Ship portion of the game, but that's just my opinion on the matter.

Now, having never watched the Pirates of the Caribbean films, I can't say how much was used and if too much was worked into the game, but at at least the music wasn't as much of an ear-worm as it was in Kingdom Hearts II! There really isn't that much interaction with Sora, Donald and Goofy with the characters from the PotC films, but at least that was explained away with Sora, Donald and Goofy needing to make sure they were prepared before going to the final battle.

Managed to get the Blademaster achievement, which is for fully powering up a Keyblade, which was pretty cool. Only 6% of those who have played the Xbox version of KH3 has done that.

Next time we featured Kingdom Hearts III we have one more Disney tie-in world to visit, and the last set of Lucky Emblems to find,

For the raid we dropped in on PrincessPashley who was  doing a live remote stream over at twitch.tv/PrincessPashley!

KINGDOM HEARTS III Achievements

• Blademaster: Obtain a Keyblade that is fully powered up.
• Way of the Pirate: Adventure through The Caribbean and complete the story.

Worked on just doing some dailies in Final Fantasy XIV, think I'll save some things for streaming purposes. Ended up doing The Final Day trial twice last night... which is a bit much for that particular fight, but the 2nd time was randomly selected because of the dailies.. Also got downed and resurrected four consecutive times during that 2nd... that was not a good experience at all! I do have my Gear Score up to 562 as a Bard. 

Saw that the Chrono Cross Remaster is up for pre-sale and its going to be a cheap one, think we'll grab that closer to its release date.

For tonight's stream we're going to do a full run of Life is Strange: Before the Storm Remastered, we're going to have a guide up to get all the collectables and to hopefully have an incident free experience with it unlike with Life is Strange: Remastered.

And on that note we'll see you later tonight over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!

A Casual night of FFXIV

Good morning everyone,

Well, with the Main Story Quest done, I can now mostly mess around doing random stuff on stream with Final Fantasy XIV while doing side quests and things off stream. Manage to get a few levels on both Fisherman and Blue Mage. Also put in some time on knocking out 10 levels in Castle of the Dead.

The biggest part of last night's stream was dedicated to the Resistance Weapons Quest line, which involves a big open area called The Bozjan Southern Front where there is a not of combat taking place, enemies follow you from one end of the map to the other and there is a 'ranking up' system. I rather like this area since there is a good opportunities to play with other players at random. The story itself takes place between Shadowbringers and Endwalker, so it's like doing finding a major story.

I did realize what I'm going to have to do to get the best available gear and that is to grind out the level 90 Dungeons, Raids and Trials... figure one a day would gradually get me towards the items needed for the gear.

For the raid, we dropped in on x9abenonymous9x who was playing Resident Evil Village over at twitch.tv/x9abenonymous9x!

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured at 31 minute workout with Waist Shape Focus Combo, Block Combo and Hook Combo #1. The estimated calorie burn was 484 kcal.

I do have to comment on things work related, in that the assignment we're having to deal with has the worst possible combination of things to do just to get start along with the most impersonal way of trying to make something sound interesting possible. 

Loving the fact that some folks are finding this half-ass blog of mine thanks to the issues with Life is Strange: Remastered.

We're going to have a real whip-lash of weather this week as it's supposed to get up into the 60s today and tomorrow then drop back down to the 30s on Sunday and Monday. Welcome to late winter in New Jersey folks...

Played a little Smite off-stream last night, trying out Morgan Le Fay for the fist time, getting 5 Kills and 21 assists while dying 3 times. Rather surprise that neither of her two related achievements are tied to using her basic special attacks.

Also messed around with Paladins a bit, the Rambo skin for Viktor looks pretty good, but the voice is a really weak impression of Stallone. Still it was for free for those who have Amazon / Twitch Prime. So that was a plus.

For tonight's stream we'll be resuming Kingdom Hearts III, as I believe the next area we're heading too will involve Pirates of the Caribbean. There is probably going to another pain in the butt Gummi-Ship level to deal with first, and of course we'll make sure to find all the Lucky Emblems.

So on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!

Endwalker, Hivebusters & Horizons

Good morning everyone,

Well, taking advantage of some misfortune to get other things done, and in this case, I finished up Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker yesterday evening before last night's stream. I thought the final dungeon and trial took full advantage of my struggles with being able to back out of AOE areas, and so I got wrecked... a lot.As far as the battle one on one against Zenos goes... well, thankfully since I play Bard, it meant all of his heavy damaging attacks were nearly all close range and there was enough of a tell to keep me from getting downed at all. 

As far as the aftermath goes, I rather liked the post-Zenos battle stuff, with the 'disbanding' of the Scions and everyone going their separate ways knowing that at some point they will be brought back together. I'm going to suspect there will be a time-jump at some point for the next major expansion to have new looks for various characters. I am also looking forward to the first Post-Endwalker content, as it's clear Elidibs' younger-self will be involved in someway.

Overall, I've very much enjoyed Final Fantasy XIV, from when I started playing it back in October, and it took me 377 hours to reach this point... and there is still so much more to do, with all the general side quests I haven't doe yet. I will say I am surprised that Endwalker's story is shorter than the other expansions (not counting post-content), really seems like there was a lot of padding and probably stuff got cut due to COVID. Still we'll be featuring FF14 as back-up content and / or having it have it's own night on stream!

Speaking of streams, last night's stream lead off with Forza Horizon 4, mostly I was grinding for various achievements on things like Speed Traps, Danger Signs and other stuff before finally making my way to Fortune Island which looks like is going to be a fun area to do things in.

The stream also included Gear 5, as Striker and Iceman joined in to finish up Hivebusters, where we got all the collectables, all the item upgrades and got achievements for various other things. Hivebusters is a nice little story that actually explains the whole 'Hivebusters' concept of why the COG is letting themselves get captured in the multi-player mode. Rather surprised Lahni was almost the focus of Hivebusters considering how much lore she has to spout, which kind of made her a bland character. With this done, the plan will be to do chapter jumping to get collectables missed in the campaign.

For the raid we dropped in on Kalenal who was playing Final Fantasy XIV over at twitch.tv/kalenal! 

Gears 5 Achievements

• Electroblade: Killed 50 enemies using Lahni's Electroblade Ability in the Hivebuster Campaign Expansion as Lahni
• A Breath of Fresh Air: Saved Hana from the Snatcher

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 stream featured a 31 minute workout that involved Weaving Combo #2, Beginner Combo #2 and Straight Combo #1. The estimated calorie burn was 482 kcal.

Probably the biggest news for me personally out of yesterday's Nintendo Direct was the announcement that Chrono Cross is getting a remastered release on multiple consoles (Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Steam, PlayStation 4 & 5), that is coming out in early April. Needless to say despite how dodging some of the upscale renders look, and knowing the legal nightmare that held up Chrono Cross from being re-released after the SquareSoft to Square-Enix relabeling of the Greatest Hits release, I'm just glad it's coming. Plus that means achievements! 

I'm also intrigued by Mario Strikers, as I have had fun with Mario Golf Super Rush, so this could be worth looking at. Then there is Disney Speedstorm... and what is basically a Mario Kart clone which I have to chuckle at how long Disney held off on diving into using their vast library of characters in a combat racer. I'm expecting some sort of Smash clone from Disney in the next year or so based on this.

For tonight's stream we'll be playing Final Fantasy XIV, mostly side-quests and things!

So on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!

Do Not Play Life is Strange Remastered Until Deck Nine Fixes It

Good morning everyone,

Well... we had to replay the entire last act of Episode 4 and the entire first half of Episode 5, but we finished and completed 100% Life is Strange Remastered, and boy was it a buggy mess, from missing audio cues, one of which we included in the clips section, to saves not actually saving, it was just a bad way to finish what is a great game. But you know what's a real kick in the teeth, because of the Save Game glitch, I couldn't go back to redo Max's choice to see what the Sacrifice Chloe ending looked like. Needless to say this was very disappointing.

I normally don't encourage people not to play something, but since Deck Nine, the developers behind the remastered version of Life is Strange, are aware of the issues, I'm saying wait until they release a patch update before playing it. Yes, I know, like you all, I was excited to see the adventure of Max and Chloe look better than ever, but with how many issues there are that break the experience of the game, it's better to wait. I feel bad in saying that, but considering it was delayed nearly five months, it's clear Deck Nine knew there would be issues.

So with saying this, what does this mean for the Life is Strange: Before the Storm Remastered play-through... well the achievements are only for the three episodes, so we could just do a marathon stream covering all three episodes in one night, which might be best for Saturday. I could start early and just roll through them back to back to back and (hopefully) not worry about any Saved progress issues while going for 100% completion.

Now we also played some Paladins last night as well, hell we played five matches, winning four of them! I was lucky to get grouped up with players who were objective focused, which was nice and kept the pressure off me. Characters I used were Ashe, Tyra and Skye... and I managed to get a quadrakill as Skye!

For the raid, we dropped in on Joliet4 while they were playing BioShock Remastered over at twitch.tv/joliet4!

My off-stream Final Fantasy XIV adventures continued in part thanks to Kalenal (twitch.tv/Kalenal) giving me a great tip on how to complete The Mothercrystral Trial with the Trust system, and that is to follow Y'shtola who can see in advance any major change in the aether, which worked like a charm. Sure I needed a couple of extreme attempts to make it work, but we got past it. From there it was the cut scene heavy Main Story quests of 'A Bold Decision' all the way up through 'You're Not Alone', which certainly was an ironic title considering what happens during that quest.

Needless to say the it was a little after 4 AM when I reached the point where after all of the Scions scarified themselves to forge a path ahead to reach the point of the final quest of Endwalker... and boy does it really tug on the strings. As you know, Alisaie is my favorite of the Scions, since she does seem the one to give the most care about the lead character. Not to say the others don't, but Alisaie is more often than not concerned about the player's well-being. That said I loved the grand appearance of Emet-Selch and Hythiodaeus to lend a hand. I look forward to tackling the actual quest Endwalker off-stream to avoid on stream spoilers... granted it's been out for two months at this point, but still.

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured a 31 minute session with Weaving Combo #1, Intermediate Combo #2 and Advanced Combo #1 for an estimated calorie burn of 492 kcal.

For tonight's stream we'll be leading off with Forza Horizon 4 and then continuing Gears 5 Hivebusters with Striker and Iceman, and we more than likely will finish that this evening! 

So on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!

Life is Strange Remastered's Huge Save Glitch

Good morning everyone,

Well I can safely say as to why Life is Strange: Remastered was delayed from it's September 2021 release date to February of 2022... the audio bugs, rendering issues and flat out no-saving really plague episodes 4 and 5.

Now last night's stream was intended to see both episodes finished, I was expected it to be about 6 hours, give or take, depending on how deep a dive I would do going into a lot of the dialog with the side characters and trying different stuff out. We cleared episode four, as you can see by the achievement list below, and you will see that half of the optional photo achievements for episode 5 were done as well.

The biggest indication that something is wrong with the audio of Life is Strange: Remastered is when there are  transitions of when photos are dissolving and new ones appear, in the original version of Life is Strange there is audio that is supposed to play... I know this because I streamed that version of the game last year! 

When I noticed the save file wasn't working was after the big emotional scene with Max tells Chloe about the alternate time line, in the very next scene right before the 'nightmare' part of Episode 5, there was no audio at all. I exited the episode, went back in, no episode. I closed the game out, relaunched, and then I see that the save file is for when Max and Chloe are entering the Dark Room in Episode 4.

Proof of this can be found here: Deck Nine's Epic Failure: Life is Strange Remastered Didn't Save Anything From Episode 5

Needless to say, this was rather annoying, I did jump back into the game to just re-do the final portion of Episode 4 (The Vortex Club Party), I finished the episode and everything looked as if it was saved. The icon showing a save in progress... I looked at the episode screen seen that episode 5 was ready to go. I exited the game, relaunched it... and episode 5 says to finish episode 4. So it's going to have to be a straight run.

For the raid, we sent everyone over to RoseMaryShorn who was playing Pokemon Legends: Arceus!

2.  It's Owl Johnson
3.  How did that get on the roof

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured a 31 minute workout with Body Straight Combo, Triple Combo #1 and Uppercut Combo #1. The estimated calorie burn was 435 kcal. 

My off-stream Final Fantasy XIV adventures saw all Main Story Quest progress made from 'No Job to Small' up through 'Bonds of 'Adamant(ite)' which saw quite a lot of running around Sharlayan Hamlet , Aporia and surrounding areas as the Adamanite was being gathered by every major NPC ally we made during the course of the game. So what's next is clear... a show down with Hydaelyn in the quest 'Her Children, One and All'... which featured an interesting Dungeon 'The Aitiascope' that finally sees the end of Fandaniel... but then the Trial, 'The MotherCrystral' is a whole other matter. I did try it using the Trust system because it was around 3 AM when I reached that point... and I kind of understand the mechanics, but there are some cheap one hit kill things in that really have me baffled. Will have to do this with a random group and hope for the best... which is normally the case with me in Final Fantasy XIV!

Was pitched a concept for a WWE Fan fiction commission involving the characters of Jack Swagger and Rosa Mendes, which has peaked my interest to test an idea I have about re-working segments to use as set up for more unique scenarios. 

For tonight's stream, well the original plan was to feature Final Fantasy XIV, but instead it will be to wrap up Life is Strange: Remastered... which means I'll probably push off Life is Strange: Before the Storm: Remastered until next week.

Anyway, see ya later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!

An Auspicious Night Of Overwatch

Good afternoon everyone

Last night's stream of Overwatch certainly was surprising with how reluctant some people were to actually try to win, with lots of folks leaving matches. Still we had a number of good moments, and always a big thank you to PandaSweet for being apart of the fun as the goal to unlocking the Auspicious Soldier skin for Solider 76 was accomplished! Looking forward to the chase for Wrecking Ball's Porcelain skin next week.  

As far as how the Auspicious Soldier skin looks, I think it looks nice with that shade of a dark blue with the red and gold standing out a bit. Perhaps what is most notable is that since Solider 76's face is completely uncovered, it looks really expressive, which to me is a nice touch.

Should know I finally managed to get the Short Fuse achievement using Ashe, a full 38 months from when the character was released back in November of 2018. Granted I don't use Ashe much, but it was nice to accomplished a 'challenge' of sorts related to how to use the character. Picked up four Plays of the Game last night, two as D.va, one as Junkrat and one as Soldier 76, so in terms of getting the big plays, I feel like I was doing pretty damn well! 

Big thanks to LvStrkr for gifting me Control: Ultimate Edition last night during the stream, yet another great game I'm looking forward to featuring!

For the raid, we sent everyone over to PradoxGamerAU who was doing a Dungeons & Dragons campagin over at twitch.tv/pradoxgamerAU!

Overwatch Achievements

• Short Fuse: Kill an enemy by shooting Ashe's Dynamite from at least 30 meters away in Quick or Competitive Play

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Hiro as the trainer to begin the grind towards his last related achievement. The session lasted 31 minutes with the following exercises: Double Combo #2, Left-Right Step Combo and Advanced Combo #2 with the estimated calorie burn being about 561 kcal.

Found an old screenshot I posted to Facebook 10 years ago of Star Trek Online... and it is of course of Zagreus, the character I created way back in 2010.

My trust in 2K to do a better job with WWE 2K22 dropped a few points when I saw the character model for Randy Savage is the exact same one used in WWE 2K20. Then I looked at the game play footage that has surfaced and... it looks to be the same convoluted mess that has been the norm going back to WWE 2K13. Seriously, they had three years to make improvements (since 2K20 was released in 2019), and it's clear as day they are rehashing the same game engine.

My off-stream Final Fantasy XIV adventures saw two Main Story Quests being accomplished, 'As the Heavens Burn', 'Outside Help' and 'Going Underground'. The first sees The Scions trying to fight off the Blasphemers, which meant having to play as Alphinaud and Alisaie, which was a bit tough considering the former's new Sage abilities, not to mention the layout of their powers are now where I would put them on the power bar. The second quest sees the Moon Bunnies show up, complete with a zombie like Puddingway, plus exposition on the Ark to evacuate people from the planet in addition to setting up access to the other half of Labyrinthos to explore. The third quests basically allowed for me to explore and get all the Aether Currets around Sharlayan Hamlet and Aporia, as well as see how the Ark's engine efficiency problem will be solved.

For tonight's stream, we'll be playing Life is Strange: Remastered episode 4 and 5 with the goal of finishing the game and getting all of the achievements with it!

So on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!

A Square-Enix Kind of Saturday

Good morning everyone,

Well one could say that last night was a Square-Enix kind of Saturday, as we split the stream between Life is Strange Remasterd and Final Fantasy XIV. Why did we do that? Well because I wanted to make sure FFXIV was included in this week's featured content, plus the pacing of Life is Strange would have meant an awkward split-stream on Monday. 

Anyway, Episode 3 of Life is Strange, Chaos Theory, is of course the one episode everyone knows since it features when you gave have Max kiss Chloe, plus the entire pool scene and where Max goes back in time to change history so that Chloe's dad lives... but Chloe ends up being paralyzed. One minor change may result in some positives, but other wise things could get really... really screwy. Since we're going in hard with the Max supporting Chloe route, that did mean basically tearing David down during the breakfast scene.

Of course, there was one thing you would have noticed in that I constantly say most of the stuff that happens to Chloe is her own fault, and that is basically true, because she could have accepted that things happen and to try and cope, but she never does. This fact really gets driven home in Before the Storm, particularly if you try and have Chloe make an effort instead of being the whiny woe-is-me drama queen she actually is. Don't get me wrong, I like the pairing of Max and Chloe... BUT... let's be honest, there's a reason why quite a few people choose Arcadia Bay over her and it is justified. 

As far as the Final Fantasy XIV half of the stream goes, we mostly did things related to Wondrous Tails, doing a couple of big raids, trials and other stuff. I briefly thought about doing MSQ related stuff but decided against it mostly because of how much dead air there would have been because of cut scenes (voiced and non-voiced). Did discover I did not have the Extreme versions of Trials unlocked related to Stormblood, the Resistance Weapons Quests that apparently adds another area to explore, which would make for some interesting content once I'm done with Endwalker. 

For last night's raid we sent the fun over to GGVexy who was doing a Community Appreciation Stream with giveaways while playing Stardew Valley!  They stream over on twitch.tv/ggvexy!

Now way I figure this week will certainly see the wrap up of a few things, with Life is Strange Remastered finished on Monday's stream with Episode 4 & 5, Gears 5: Hivebusters finished on Wednesday, and then Life is Strange: Before the Storm being featured on Thursday and Saturday with it's 3 episodes plus the bonus Farewell Episode. This will more than likely open the doors for the weekly line up to get back to what it was last year with a more stable lineup of a major feature. We shall see how true that becomes.

Jumped into Battletoads earlier this morning to knock out some achievements, which was nearly every one I could do single player that did not involve finding collectables.
